| My LCS offers the coolest service, a $10 per month Reading Library that allows me unlimited TPB's, one at a time, as much as I can read in a month. Don't want to waste my time on any dud's so I'm hoping for ideas of truly great reads after the era of Dark Knight, Watchmen, Maus, etc. My experience so far: Black Hammer: Great, one of those rare comics where the artists vision is just as important as the writers vision to add an extra dimension to the story-telling...waiting for more. East of West: Same thing, great collaboration of writers vision with artists vision, waiting for book 7. Descender: Loving book one so far, hope the rest don't disappoint. Saga: Looks great but probably don't want it around for my kids to pick up and flip through. Agent Zero: Got bogged down in book 2 and moved on. I appreciate any suggestion...more recent stuff that you think truly qualifies as great reads. |

| Fury: My War Gone By and Punisher: Born by Garth Ennis are modern war classics if you ask me. Definitely don’t want them around kids, though. | ||

| Punisher: Welcome Back, Frank. Garth Ennis' work on the Punisher. Absolutely wonderful story, and art by the late great Steve Dillon. Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers. Just a great read. Invisible Republic. I doubt the series will ever truly be finished, but a dystopian tale that I found wonderfully told. |

| Hillbilly is great one of my favorites. Realm is also good. Pestilence series one. Walking dead of coarse. Saga is good. Redneck is good. |

| My public library offers a similar service, except there's no monthly charge and I can have 15 books at a time. | ||

| Mine will be a little more mainstream, but try these: Supreme Power Identity Crisis Secret Invasion Empire by Barry Kitson Hickman’s avengers run culminating with infinity was pretty good, also |

| Transmetropolitan 100 Bullets Preacher Saga Not completely produced in the last 20 years- but read the Grendel omnibuses produced by dark horse, I find that series to be an extremely unique experience in its evolution from a singular character to a futuristic feudalist society Punisher- welcome back Frank- and for guilty pleasure, I loved Franken-castle Bone Parish- 12 issues, just finished Also- before you pay anything there is an app produced by many public libraries called hoopla that allows you to download a certain amount of books per month free, and many of these graphic novel collections can be found on there |

| I collected East Of West 1-25 but only read issues 1-10 (1st and 2nd story arc) so I have no idea the continuation. Would like to see an EoW movie released but to make a one shot movie of this genre successful would take some serious production/directing/casting. Probably not worth the expense. | ||

I thought Prometheus: Fire and Stone was a really well-done crossover with each title (Aliens, Predator, AVP, and Prometheus) really presenting the representing the IP well while still weaving them together into one large story I also really enjoyed Thunderbolts by Warren Ellis and Mike Deodato which collects Faith in Monsters and Caged Angels (also available separately). It does a great job of presenting a team of villains without them ending up as anti/reluctant heroes.  |

| Hillbilly is, indeed, epic. If you enjoy the subtle hilarities of Black Hammer, you will dig Hillbilly, I’m certain. | ||

| Scott Pilgrim. Classic. Nuff said. Saga is definitely great. I still need to read the 2nd HC. I believe a 3rd HC came out but I heard the story takes a dump.... Sixth Gun from Oni Press is one of my favorites. 50 issues of sci-fi Western ass kick. Lazarus. This book has it all. Forever Carlyle is my girl. I also agree on EoW. |

| Not sure if I can recall any truly "epic" reads published in the 21st century TBH. All-Star Superman? Batman: White Knight? Civil War (Marvel)? Flashpoint? Justice (DC, 2006-07)? The New Frontier (DC)? |
